“I’ll definitely hire Maria again! I’d never gotten a sitter for my kitty before and was a little nervous but she eased my mind and took excellent care of her while I was gone. Thank you for being so kind and trustworthy!! :)”
“Lydia us a great sitter. She helped my puppy at the last minute. She filled his water(even though i forgot to tell her about it). She even brought him to my work for me to say hi to him. He had a good time playing soccer and running around with her.”
“Alyssa and Zachary have been my sitters for about a year now. They have loved my kitty like their own. Unfortunately I am moving out of the area so I won’t be able to use them anymore. I truly do not know how I am going to replace them- they are the only sitters I have ever trusted to take care of Delilah. You will feel comfortable leaving your pets in their care and can trust that they are in the best hands!”
About: I have had a dog almost my whole life. I’ve also watched my family and friends pets while they have been away a lot through out the past 7 years! I know a lot about the different dog breeds as well, since I am considering owning a dog boarding place one day! As I am preparing for college I am very flexible. I don’t have a set schedule for any day, so I can make sure your pet is taken care of. I make each pet’s care fit their individual needs while keeping them comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, but during the summer heat I schedule walks for the early morning or evening when it’s cooler. If it’s too hot outside, I focus on indoor activities and enrichment to keep pets active. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, caring environment throughout my visit or stay.
“Julia is very thorough and responsible. She did a great job handling our rescues (who get very nervous). We wanted someone who was a dog lover and could handle their quirks, and that’s what we got!”
About: I am a Veterinary Technology student at NDSU with a passion for helping all kinds of animals. I have professional pet care experience working at a pig barn, vet clinic, impound, and pet store. This has given me a vast experience with animals of all species and care levels. I am well versed in providing medications and have even raised a litter of kittens. I also love animals of the feathered and scaled variety and would be happy to provide them with care. I am a college student with plenty of spare time to take care of your furry companions. I can easily visit 3 times a day and could make accommodations for more visits if necessary. I am willing to care for your babies at your home or even at mine. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so there will be lots of play time if you wish. I also have separate spaces if needed such as an extra room and fenced in back yard. I am able and willing to do nail trims and bathing if necessary as well as make sure they take any necessary medications. With me they will have lots of time outside and lots of time to play.
“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful. We went on a wel long trip and two days prior we had a meet and greet and the kitties immediately fell in love with her. We got daily photos of the cats and status updates. Although our cats are petty low maintenance, they enjoy the love from the people they allow to live with them. it was so great to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: Hello! I’m Sophia, and I am currently a student at Concordia College studying Voice Performance and German! Outside of music I have a passion for plants and pets! Over the years I have taken care of the animals of my community as well as some of my own. Species include cats, dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, domesticated rats, and even small children 😂. Additionally I am a seasoned houseplant parent with employment experience at a local garden center. On top of pet care I am happy to water, fertilize, diagnose, and pest treat your plants for a flexible fee! As a pet/plant sitter I am reliable, organized, punctual, communicative and adaptable. Together let’s keep your flora and fauna happy and healthy! As a student and part-time garden center employee my schedule varies quite a bit. Generally my Tuesday and Thursday mornings are free as well as weekends. I’m a great communicator and happy to find a time that works for you! I do not offer boarding for cats and dogs, but for small animals such as birds and rodents they have a home away from home with me! I live in a house with plenty of space for a habitat and can adjust lighting, temperature and ambient volume to your pet’s needs!
About: I have had dogs my whole life and I am very comfortable around them! I love to go on walks and play with pups as much as I can! I work from home during the week and leave for meetings or errands occasionally but will be home to keep your pet company! Home most summer weekends and I love to be outside and go on lots of walks. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have a balcony that allows for sunbathing and relaxing! I also have a friendly dog of my own who is a little shy at first but loves to play.
About: I have a well trained puppy and have been working with my roommates dogs and cats for the last four years. I love to care for the fur babies. I work part-time at CCRI on weekdays so i can make ample time for your pet's routine. I can stop by as much as needed. I have a fenced backyard, a super friendly puppy and can have extra kennel if you need your dog to sleep in a crate/ kennel
About: We have always been dog lovers our whole life and was finally able to adopt one of our own three years ago. Mae is our sweet loving girl and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Dogs and animals hold a special place in our hearts! I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse. Over the weekends we find any way possible to hang out with Mae, take her for walks, to the dog park, and of course to get sweet treats. During the week we always find plenty of time for walks and lots of love and belly scratches on the couch! Mae and other dogs roam free in our house! We have a fenced in backyard to allow for lots of play time, and inside they are more than welcome on any bed or couch!
About: I grew up on a small ranch in Texas surrounded by all kinds of animals, from dogs & cats to horses & cattle. Over the past few years, my family has bred and raised several litters of golden retriever puppies. This gave me even more experience with raising & training dogs, and led to the adoption of my own dog Sam. I also have experience babysitting dogs for friends and family! I'm currently a stay-at-home wife, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week. Pet care is ideal as it allows me to work around my husbands work & class schedule, while caring for our own dog & home. I will offer consistent, kind care to your dog or cat! I love going on walks with my own dog, playing fetch, and offering lots of cuddles. I am happy to interact with your animal according to your personal comfort level, knowning that some dogs & cats may prefer more alone time than others. I will respect your animal's personal space & interact with them as a fun, dependable friend.
“Kimmie is great! I was so anxious about how this would all work out but it’s has made my life so much less stressful knowing my dogs are with someone who is kind and considerate. Love having Kimmie involved in our routine and appreciate her more than she knows!”
About: I have always grown up with pets and I have loved taking care of them. I am also going to college to be a veterinarian. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of free time and my schedule will be very open this summer to take care of your animals. I will always make sure to respect your home whenever I am there. I will make sure it continues to be a safe environment for your animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
